Mayors of Rotherham

THE MAYORS OF ROTHERHAM SINCE THE INCORPORATION OF THE BOROUGH

The Mayor’s full and proper title is “The Worshipful the Mayor of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough”. The correct mode of address is Mr Mayor – or Madam Mayor.

The Mayoralty is the most exalted position in the gift of a local authority, and members elected are rightly proud of its traditions and jealous to preserve its privileges that have been acquired through the years.

The Mayor is recognised as being, in his or her own Borough, the official representative of the Crown, second only to the Lord Lieutenant of the County of South Yorkshire.

(The Names for 1974 & 1976 to 2008 were kindly supplied by the Office of the Secretary to the Mayor of Rotherham. The Name for 1975 was supplied by Mr. Mick Shaw, and is corroborated by an article on the Royal Visit in July 1975)
